Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 315 - 256: Modification
He quickened his pace, spent some time finding a secluded and uninhabited hill, then took out the Biological Transformation Pod and placed it on the ground. Next, he stuffed the still unconscious village woman into the pod, closed the hatch, and personally operated the control panel outside, selecting to modify the woman’s head features, essentially a makeover.
"It actually lacks the use of water? Just find a river or mountain spring to gather some, it’ll do..."
From the information displayed on the pod, Wang Zhifan discovered that the power was indeed sufficient to complete this transformation, but another needed material, water, was lacking. He hadn’t just forgotten to add it in the Deceit Realm earlier; he knew that such tangible things wouldn’t be useful even if added, as they couldn’t be brought over to this world.
Thus, he had to consume more time at this stage, searching for a water source nearby and using boxes and other containers from his personal space to transfer enough material water into the pod.
After busying himself for quite some time, he finally confirmed the pod was ready, pressing the button to start the transformation process for the unconscious village woman inside.
"With just this function, I’m afraid in the real world it would drive a billion women crazy. Unfortunately, I don’t intend to make money from it... At the same time, I didn’t expect its first user to be a civilian from the Mystical World."
Regarding this exceptional-grade Biological Transformation Pod, Wang Zhifan was quite clear about its potential. He could indeed profit greatly by utilizing its various functions in the real world, targeting both ordinary people and player groups. Yet, considering the possible complications this might bring, he chose to abandon that idea until this particularly meaningful practice.
When Wang Zhifan finished initiating this transformation program on the control panel, he learned from the display screen that the total duration required was 1 hour. This was the minimum time needed for the pod’s biological transformation, as it involved an overall gene-level adjustment and repair for a biological entity, making it difficult to further shorten the duration. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"An hour is still a bit long. During this time, I’ll find a place to place the Faceless Statue."
Confirming that the uninhabited hill he was on was devoid of other people or threatening creatures, Wang Zhifan then set aside the large machine currently transforming the village woman and began searching for a suitable location to place the Faceless Statue he’d spiritually bound.
This was a very necessary task, otherwise, in this world, even with followers, he’d be unable to receive any faith power due to often being in the real world or in-game instances. Only by properly setting the Faceless Statue in this world could the faith power generated by his believers continually be transferred to him through this transit piece.
"Simply bury the statue in a deserted place? This seems the safest way to handle it... but I feel it should be utilized to a greater extent."
With a brief contemplation, several plans emerged in his mind. He mulled over them and chose a relatively balanced plan, neither the safest nor the most audacious.
He then mounted the Red Deer Horse, galloping around the mountaintop, carefully observing where the most suitable location was. After spending quite some time, he fancied a steep mountain peak at some distance.
This mountain peak satisfied him with four characteristics: Firstly, it was very remote, with no village visible nearby. Secondly, it was extremely steep, making it challenging for ordinary people in this world to ascend even if they happened upon it. Thirdly, its surface was barren, with sparse weeds, lacking any value for climbing or picking. Fourthly, it was taller than the surrounding peaks, subtly giving off a unique and extraordinary aura.
"Nice, this place seems secluded. Even if someone happens upon it, climbing up would be difficult, but it’s not completely isolated from the world, making it suitable to impart special significance at the right moment, especially with this mountain peak’s isolated and prominent stance which could be elaborated on."
Reflecting a bit, Wang Zhifan directed the Red Deer Horse to land atop this steep mountain peak, then dismounted, took out the Marauder’s Saber, and swiftly carved a niche into the large rock at the peak. The niche was just right to accommodate the Faceless Statue upright, making it appear as if the statue was worshipped in the peak’s rock.
"This should do. If all goes well, this place can be used as a sacred site for core followers to worship."
Having set up the Faceless Statue, Wang Zhifan nodded in satisfaction, then rode the Red Deer back to the hill where the Biological Transformation Pod was placed. He had already left a Dream Me Avatar here for safeguarding, so he wasn’t worried about any mishaps occurring.
However, upon returning, he discovered that the cosmetic transformation of the village woman in the pod was still incomplete, requiring more than ten minutes to truly finish.
"This woman remains unconscious, showing no signs of waking. Seems I might have been a bit heavy-handed before."
As Wang Zhifan pondered possible oversights in the process, he considered how to handle similar situations in the future. It was impractical for him to manage everything personally each time, as it would tremendously waste his personal time.
"Consolidating time for unified processing is one possible solution... Perhaps I could find someone else to help... Like bringing Yilin or Yali over to handle such matters... But their forms and appearances might pose a problem... Moreover, how to respond when encountering unexpected situations..."
Ideas continuously emerged and analyses revealed underlying issues. While Wang Zhifan was still mulling over them, the Biological Transformation Pod beside him finally lit up with a green light, emitting a crisp buzzing sound—a reminder that the modification was finally complete.
Upon seeing this, Wang Zhifan promptly interrupted his thoughts, pressed the button to open the hatch, and pulled out the still unconscious village woman.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Though this woman’s features aren’t exactly pretty, having her scars vanished and facial skin restored to smoothness like new completely transforms her from her previously scarred appearance which was akin to a ghost. If I hadn’t overseen the entire process, I wouldn’t even believe such a significant change could occur."
With just a glance, Wang Zhifan couldn’t help but marvel at the effectiveness of the transformation pod from the instance, far surpassing any cosmetic technology in the real world.
Having completed this critical task, he no longer lingered, immediately storing the transformation pod into his personal space. Then, he rode the Red Deer to bring the now-cosmetically transformed, unconscious village woman back to the riverside where she tried to commit suicide over an hour ago.
Yet, he didn’t simply abandon the woman upon arrival, nor did he wake her up and leave her to discover the changes herself. Instead, he performed one final crucial operation.
He first placed the woman at the riverside where she previously knelt and prayed, then quickly withdrew to hide in the distance. Subsequently, he activated his quite remarkable skill in the Great Dream Saber Scripture, using for the first time an unusual ability from the scripture, targeting the woman on the ground.
The principle of this ability he employed was quite simple: creating a temporary Dream Me Avatar to forcibly invade the target’s spiritual world, dominating and influencing their dreams.
This ability was considered obscure because it was rarely used in actual combat, causing no cultivator of the Great Dream Saber Scripture to emphasize it. The reason was that slightly stronger enemies would make it difficult for the Dream Me Avatar to successfully infiltrate their spiritual world, potentially alerting them, and with sufficiently weak enemies, there was no need for such roundabout means; simply letting the avatar cut down the opponent with a saber would be more efficient, wouldn’t it?
But Wang Zhifan’s current goal perfectly suited the use of such Dream Me Avatar’s invasion ability. He quickly created a temporary avatar in his own dreamland in the image of a white-bearded old celestial, then directed this avatar to directly invade the spiritual world of the unconscious woman by the riverside, orchestrating the final dramatic scene for closure.
